HOMELAND SECURITY & KAMINSKY@NYSENATE GOV SENATOR TODD KAMINSKY MILITARY AFFAIRS 9TH SENATE DISTRICT Dear Colleague, Please join me in working toward immediately decoupling state aid from teacher evaluations before the end of this yea?s legislative session. With only five days left, the time to work together and act is now. Action is needed to protect crucial state funding for schools from each of the districts that we represent. Linking essential school funding with the implementation of a teacher evaluation system which has been universally discredited and rushed makes little sense. Moreover, evidence demonstrates that many schools are having difficulty meeting the Albany-mandated criteria, raising deep concerns that the impending deadline will negatively impact public students. So far, only 121 out of the over 700 school districts in the state have submitted evaluation plans. Our children’s education is too important for partisan politics. That is why I urge you to join me in doing the right thing for our children, families and schools by signing on to my letter urging Majority Leader Flanagan to bring Senate Bill S.7632 to the floor for a vote. By putting partisanship aside and working together we can ensure all of New York’s public school districts receive the state funds they were promised.

    PASSAGE LESSON 9 NAME_______________________ Read the passage below from chapter 12 of Nicky Fifth’s New Jersey. On a separate sheet, explain why North Jersey is more populated than South Jersey. Use details from the text to support you answer. After driving for some time, we arrived at the Staten Island Ferry. My sisters had to go to the bathroom, so my mom brought them into the terminal. My dad looked so confused. “Hey,” my mom said as she returned to the van. “I was talking to a woman inside and she asked the girls if we were going on the ferry. When I told her we were lost, I mean on our way to the Liberty Science Center, she suggested we take the kids on a ferry ride, first.” “Why would we park here and take a ferry?” my dad asked slowly and quietly, like a volcano before the eruption. “Because it’s not just for commuters, it’s also a tourist attraction and gives riders great views of the city and the Statue of Liberty,” she said. “Can we go, Dad?” asked Timmy. “I really want to go on a ferry.” “We’re on our way to the science center,” my dad explained. “Plus, do you have any idea how much it would cost for seven people to ride a ferry round trip?” “I do,” my mom smiled. “It’s free.” “What?” my dad asked, looking even more confused. “It’s free and it’s a 30-minute ride to Manhattan and a 30-minute ride back,” she explained.
